After using cannabis, THC is absorbed into the bloodstream and it travels to the brain. In the brain, THC binds to specific receptors, called cannabinoid receptors. This binding reaction in the brain produces the effects felt by the user.
How quickly cannabis reaches the brain varies. After smoking, the effects are felt almost immediately and last for one to three hours. After eating, it takes about an hour for it to take effect and the effects may last for as long as four hours.
THC is stored in fat cells. It takes a long time to completely clear from

• age
• mood, expectations, and environment
• medical or psychiatric conditions
• the amount of cannabis taken (dose)
• whether the cannabis is smoked or eaten
• how often and for how long cannabis has been used
• use of other drugs (including alcohol, non-prescription, prescription, and street drugs)

• Short-Term Effects

  
  As THC enters the brain, users may feel anxious, euphoric, 'high' and/or fearful. Others may feel relaxed and talkative. Some people enjoy the perceptual distortions produced by cannabis; other people find these effects to be unpleasant. When first using cannabis, many people do not experience psychoactive effects (effects which affect the mind, mood or mental processes), but with repeated use they do.
  Short-term use of cannabis can produce many other effects: red eyes
  spontaneous laughter
  drowsiness
  increased hunger (often called "munchies")
  mild paranoia, anxiety or panic
  impaired reaction time, coordination and motor skills
  impaired short-term memory
  increased heart rate and decrease in blood pressure (may lead to fainting)
  dry mouth and throat
  irritation of the respiratory tract (with smoking)
  In addition, a person could potentially experience:
• hallucinations (seeing something that does not exist)
• pseudo-hallucinations (seeing colours or patterns that the user knows are not real)
• paranoia
• severe agitation
• disorientation
• abdominal pain

Long-term heavy use may also precipitate psychosis or schizophrenia in individuals with a genetic predisposition. Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disorder. People with schizophrenia lose touch with reality and may:

• experience paranoia
• have delusions
• hallucinate

Cannabis use can complicate the course and treatment of this disorder, for example it can enhance the symptoms of schizophrenia.
